Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website.

Vons Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Whether you’re preparing for holiday gatherings or just stocking up on essentials, Vons’ Black Friday Sale in 2025 promises plenty of deals both in-store and online. Here’s what you need to know about the event, from sale dates to shopping tips.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Timeline

The Vons Black Friday Sale is expected to begin Friday, November 28, 2025, and run through Tuesday, December 2, 2025. That gives you five days to take advantage of discounts across groceries, household items, and holiday must-haves.

The official ad should drop a few days beforehand (likely Tuesday, November 25, 2025) so you’ll have time to plan your list. Keep in mind that popular items may sell out quickly, so shopping early is your best bet.

Where to Shop

You can grab the deals at your local Vons or online at vons.com. Both options feature the main promotions, though digital coupons are easiest to redeem online or through the app.

If you’re heading to a physical store, check your local Vons for updated hours, as they may vary. Online shoppers should also watch for delivery and pickup fees unless otherwise stated.

Types of Deals to Expect

While the ad will confirm exact offers, past years give us a good idea of what to look for:

  1. Grocery Discounts – Expect savings on pantry staples, produce, and meats—ideal for holiday meals or everyday shopping.

  2. Holiday Essentials – Baking supplies, seasonal snacks, and beverages are usually included, perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas prep.

  3. Household Items – Look for discounts on cleaning products, paper goods, and personal care items.

  4. Alcohol & Beverages – Vons often runs specials on wine, beer, and spirits—great for entertaining or gifting.

  5. Digital Coupons – Many of the best offers require digital coupons via the Vons app, with deals like BOGO offers or multi-buy discounts.

Limits and Exclusions

Like most grocery sales, there may be purchase limits on high-demand items (e.g., “limit 2 per household”). All deals are available only while supplies last, so if you see something you want, don’t wait.
